Kodak launches new Kodachrome!
Lovers of film will be both thrilled and disappointed to read the headline above, so I'll put you all out your misery and tell you straight up that this new offering from Kodak is unfortunately not a reintroudcution of their legendary colour reversal film, introduced in 1935, and finally discontinued in 2009.
It is however the new name of journal conceived by Kodak, and scheduled for a Winter 2017 (northern hemisphere) release. The 76-page publication will be a limited edition run desinged for anyone who "loves art, film and analog culture". Kodak says that each edition will feature stories and conversations from around the globe with a focus on creation, craft and inspiration.
The first edition features:
- Chloë Sevigny on film, felines, shooting fairytales and taking the director’s chair
- Isaac Julien on the virtue of film for inspiring, making and preserving art
- Tad Carpenter on the power of the pencil
- Max McSimov on the beautiful truth behind folk songs–with the help of his Super 8
- Print is Dead is Dead: why independent magazine culture is booming
- The Hepworths: one of Europe’s most iconic art family dynasties laid bare
- Lost in Color: why the light, bright world of yellow is a lot murkier than it seems
- Music to Your Eyes: how gig posters bring out a designer’s most creative side
Unfortuantley, getting your hands on a copy, especally if you live in Australia, may be a little more challenging – although not as challenging as getting a roll of Kodachrome processed – as Australia is not listed among the countries in the dropdown menu on the site. The publication has a list prices of US$20.
